Fun, Practical —
This car is fun and roomy, I like the headspace and overall room. It's very comfortable on road trips, I've camped in it, the seats fold down into each other and make a bed. It's higher off the road so need to be more careful when turning, not like my old civic. Brakes were good, felt safe. Light for winter driving though, didn't do well in ice.

My Orange Toaster —
Well to tell you the truth I really really do not like
this
car! It doesn't accelerate, it doesn't stop, it doesn't
turn, and gas mileage is not a word in it's
vocabulary.
in terms of usability however it's great, you can fit
almost anything in the back of it (the usual for my
family is 13 bails of shavings.) Thus far the car has
not
been a hassle to repair the rear brakes just went at
50,000 miles but apart from that nothing has
broken.
Thats really all i have to say about it.

Should Work Good For Rural Mail Delivery & Highway.By Kathy566

Just drove my suv home. Handles well, quiet, well built, & fun! Radio has good sound. Versatile seats allow for cargo. Tailgate will allow long items to hang out like a pick-up truck.

Space, Utility, And Simplicity.By austin

We love that this car is all about practical space. Some folks don't like the boxy styling, but that's what gives it so much functionality and storage. I fit an oversized front-loader washer and dryer...
